@@dynafit Thanks for replying to my comment. Recent Covid craze and introduction of sanitary segregation in ski resorts are pushing me into different type of winter activity.

@@dynafit thanks, was great! Conditions were kind of challenge... 110km/h wind and heavy snow but was with a good mountain guide So all under control...and caught super powder = super fun😎. Dynafit's gear make it easy ;) all the best!carry on doing great job Guys🍀
Well said sir. I’ve often thought of this set up you have… I’m not into kicking and gliding much..just to get to a hill and come down it..hydro lines in my area are often long rolly slopes..it’s fun. New Brunswick Canada 🇨🇦
Amazing video. I just want to ask about equipment. What would be the comparison between the latest shift bindings, and the classic touring , also the boots . The alpine boots with additional pin connectors to use in touring bindings
its crazy that the dynafit binding design is like 40years old and remains essentially the same. it took me over 10years of touring to get on the dynafit train, wish i would have done earlier. now all binding manufacturers are copying the dynafit pin binding design
@@dynafit could you please.make an ultra light ski that is powder specific. Ie= full rocker ( just like the 4front raven but 1kg per ski). A ski like that just doent exist on the market. Im sure a lot of north american ski tourers would love them
It is boutique brand with most sofisticated technologies on the market. From 1250g with special on order lightweight paulownia core forestskis.com/phone/allmountain.html
@@jozefpuk already have dps.wailer tour1. Thats what they weigh. I would like a ski as light a the blacklight 88 but with a full rocket and a long turn radius, like the 4front ravens
Any tips on getting the pin bindings to line up every time? My small brain is so far away from my disobedient foot that I struggle every damn time! Cool video, especially this year with so many lifts closed and touring increasing in popularity!
Hi Ben, thanks for your feedback on the video :) Regarding your question - for sure there is a bit of practise involved as well but in general it helps to make sure the ski is placed on a rather even ground/surface and that the inclination of the ski is as small as possible. That way you also don't have to twist your leg/foot in any unnatural way. Furthermore stepping into the binding coming with your boot from behind and a 30 degree angle as described by Schorsch makes it easier as well :) Hopefully this helps, let us know if you have any further questions. All the best from you Dynafit team! #speedup
Great vidéo ! I have the seven summits pack and i’m really happy with it 👌 Just one question : is it possible to remove the skins with the skis on ? I have trouble with it.. thanks
I like the video. Everything is covered. I would like to know how the heel unit is operated with a ski pole for turn bindings with static raisers. All positions back and forth. This is not shown for the black seven summits set. Thank You.
Hi Martin! Thanks for the feedback - we appreciate the input and are happy to forward this to our video content team to keep in mind. All the best from your Dynafit team! #speedup
Great, thank you for this video! I just bought Dynafit bindings and I am not exactly sure how to use them. This video provided a bit more clarity for me.
This is a terrific review, Schorsch, and I am so glad I found your video. I am getting set up to try ski touring and you cleared most of my confusion and answered a lot of my questions. A question about touring bindings you are using.....do they disconnect in severe falls to protect knees like alpine bindings do?
Hi there! We're super happy to hear this kind of positive feedback and of course glad we could answer most of your questions. Excited to see out there this winter! In regards to your question for the binding: There are different models and each has its own features and certifications but in our case we can recommend you our Radical binding which is ideal for beginners and also disconnects in case you fall when skiing down. You can also get more information about our bindings here: www.dynafit.com/skitouringbinding-bindingtypes-different-models. All the best from your DYNAFIT team! #speedup
Hi Jamie, thanks for your comment. To a certain extent one can also simulate some gliding with the skins on the skis when going forward - especially in the flat. In general the "hair" structure of the skins allow gliding on the forward movement and prevent the ski tourer from gliding backwards at the same time. The forward gliding however is not entirely comparable to cross-country skiing - that means we would not recommend cross-country skiing with your ski touring skis on the slopes :). To sum it up - the movement when walking with skins on the skis is a "dragging" of the ski rather than a "lifting" - so the movement is more similar to cross country skiing than to snow shoe walking if we have to compare it to the one or the other. We hope that helps & let us know if you have any further questions. All the best from your Dynafit Team! #Speedup
Hi Robert! Thanks for your question and sorry the delay in our response. The binding should not be locked on the downhill for safety reasons - once locked the release will happen a lot later and in case of falling on the downhill your foot is not released from the binding and ski early enough. Hope that makes sense & let us know if you have any further questions! All the best from your DYNAFIT team! #Speedup
Hi there! The jacket is the Radical Infinium Hybrid jacket and the pant is the Radical Infinium Hybrid pant. Those products are part of our Winter 21/22 collection - stay tuned for next winter to come :) All the best from your Dynafit Team! #speedup
Hey! Thanks for your comment :) Of course ski touring is a greater effort and incudes less downhill time than when going alpine skiing with chairlift support. The focus is a different one...Physical exercise in winter as well as the fact of being able to reach different mountain places outside of ski resorts can be (among others) a very good motivation though :) Usually and in good snow conditions the way down is always a good reward for the uphill efforts - no matter how short it might be in comparison. In case you have never been ski touring - we hope you get the chance to try out our favorite winter sport soon! All the best from your DYNAFIT team! #Speedup
Hi Andreas! Many thanks for your question. DYNAFIT Speedskins should be folded in half with the adhesive sides together. When the skins are pulled apart, the adhesive is reactivated so you don’t need any extra plastic sheets for DYNAFIT skins. All the best from your DYNAFIT team! #speedup
Hi there! That is the new Radical 23 backpack - stay tuned for the Winter 21/22 season - it will be available just then. All the best from your Dynafit Team!
Thanks, great video but I thought ski touring was like hiking but in the snow with skis? This seems like a big hassle everytime you need to go up and down a slope. I'm really confused about all the different types of cross country skiing. Could you please tell me what the type of skiing is that I'm after?
Hi there! Sorry for the late reply. You can "ski" down smaller slopes also with the skins on the skis - this will be a lot slower though and if you remain in walk mode it requires a certain amount of balance as well. Also For any longer downhills we would recommend to take them off but in general it is possible :) All the best from your DYNAFIT team! #Speedup
Hi Eric, that's probably the perspective of the image, but in general your skis shoud be a little shorter than your height. You can check out our size guide to find the right ski length for you: www.dynafit.com/sizeguide. All the best from your DYNAFIT team! #speedup
Hi Sergii, thanks for your feedback. As this is an overview of many basic topics of how to start with ski touring we are well aware many of them could be covered a lot more in depth and provide enough content to create single videos :). There is another tutorial on ski touring technique in the making already - stay tuned! All the best from your Dynafit team! #speedup
If you don’t secure the ski to your boot ore with a stopper, to prevent the ski of running of, you’ll lose the ski for sure. Nice video, but if you do it like this, one day your on top of the mountain with only one ski.
If your quick on transitions yes , If yer slow.....noooo just gooo! Whatever you like to ski best with . Lengthening the pole helps you push more efficiently, also when its steep it helps for kick turns .
Hi there! Thanks for your comment. For sure the knowledge about safety equipment and its usage as well as avalanche risks is essential for any ski tourer. To start out and to just focus on the first ski touring experience and technique we also recommend on-piste ski touring on permitted routes before heading into the backcountry. All the best from your Dynafit team!
Already enough literature on this, and plenty of eagr new ski turds packing out not only the popular spots, but the obscure objectives too. Can we just stop promoting this so we can stretch out how long we get to ski tour in solitude? Its definitely coming to an end at some point. No need to make sure it's tomorrow. Thaaaaankss!!!
The current state of things has pushed people outdoors more and trying sports that used to be solitary. X country ski and the local trails are packed. Not much you can do about it except go on multi day tours. Most new people won’t be spending the night on the mountain
Or we could try to be happy that more people are out and doing awesome things like we like to be out doing awesome things. Gatekeeping behaviour sucks. Remember, you were a newbie making mistakes and on "someone else's favourite spot being a turd" once too. And perhaps, you could help those you see get better with a few tips instead of being crappy about it.
This might be one of the best tutorial or guiding videos I've ever seen. Simple, in real environment, great tips, no irritating music to mix up the speech, clear articulation and good camera workd. Makes me speechless. So good.
